Re: Gamespot offers PC beta access with preorder of LE

hmm i wonder if i can preorder the game from gamestop, get beta access in january and cancel the order before the game is shipped in march. i plan to order from amazon because i got some credit there i need to use up but i doubt amazon will give away beta keys.

I did that with the PS3 beta but just haven't canceled my pre-order yet. But if the PC beta is any thing like the PS3 beta then they will be giving away keys on the official BC2 Twitter. And also I had gotten a key for my friend from Gamespot just by creating an account there.

Re: Gamespot offers PC beta access with preorder of LE

Pretty sure everyone will get a key,regardless of preorder or not.I wouldn't worry about it.It would be nice to get a real date for the beta though.

No PC beta date has been announced. Don't believe everything that you read.
